Flaxseed: Helping to Control Cholesterol Levels in Men
For those unable or unwilling to take cholesterol-lowering medicines, like Crestor, Zocor or Lipitor, there may be a natural alternative in flaxseed. Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) comes from the seed of the flax plant and contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as lignans, which are plant compounds similar to fiber. They are also rich in B vitamins, magnesium and manganese.
A small U.S. study showed that just 3 tablespoons per day of flaxseed added to the diet for 3 months improved the cholesterol counts in the men by 10 percent. While you may not think this is significant, study leader Suzanne Hendrich of Iowa State University's Nutrition and Wellness Research Center says that the expected outcome from cholesterol-lowering drugs in the same span of time is approximately 10 percent to 20 percent. So there is not a big difference between the two cholesterol reducers.

Create Memorable Spring Feasts
 Gathering family and friends for a grand Easter Sunday feast or Seder Night dinner for Passover are cherished springtime rituals. Cooking the traditional dishes that honor each occasion is also a beloved part of the holidays-but it's possible to add some surprises to give these delicious meals your own stamp.
Update your Easter menu
Of course, you can always serve Easter ham as the main course for your Sunday feast. If that's not the family favorite, make one or two changes to update your menu while keeping the dishes everyone loves.
- Choose roast turkey for the main course. Brined first and then oven-roasted or grilled on the barbecue, it's superb for any holiday.

Spring Training Tips
 After a long winter of reduced activity or inactivity you might be tempted to get outside and train as soon as the weather improves. You may also be tempted to exercise at the same level you did at the end of the last season. But such enthusiasm often leads to early season injuries. If you changed your routine for the winter, you need to get back into shape slowly. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you head out the door this spring.
- Slow but Steady. Don't succumb to the weekend warrior syndrome. Try to get some exercise 3-4 times per week on alternate days. One of the best ways to get injured or sore is to go hard all weekend and do nothing during the week.
